Like Janet, my son and I walk through Milnshaw on a regular basis, most people who walk from top end of Church to Asda or town use it as a cut through.

It is a disgrace, the council have seen fit to put railings round the bowling greens, why? they don't keep dogs or kids off them! Wouldn't it have made more sense to use the money to clean the park and fill in the holes hiding under the masses of dead leaves? Maybe even put some new and more play equipment in there? They have erected a set of goal posts but after the slightest bit of rain it can't be played on for the quagmire at either end! I don't mind mud and muck but don't want twisted sprained or broken ankles from slipping in it when 'going somewhere suitable' to play footy with my 8 year old!

HBC should think before they spend the money on whats actually needed not what some folk want.
